    Fantastic. Utterly beautiful at times. I think there is a little bit of meandering in the mid section but I think as a whole Caer really shines. Runaway, Saturdays, and Bombs Away are some highlights for me. I love TS’s work and I can’t wait to see what he does next.

    Easily his best album since Forget. My favorite tracks are Saturdays, 18 Years, When You're Wrong, Littlest Things & Runaway. A nice compromise between his earlier sound and his more pop stuff.

    This 13 track album was a pleasant surprise as I never listened to Twin shadow before. You can hear the pop and rock influences in the sound, but sometimes that isn't the best thing as several tracks sound the same and overly poppy. There is songs that sound like young fathers, and frank ocean, but also have a unique    Standout Tracks: Little woman, Too many colors , Obvious people, Runaway

    Caer is a magnificent oasis of feeling and reflection, where self-doubt, confidence, love, and lust live so comfortably alongside one another.

    While Caer stumbles over artifice at the gate, Twin Shadow eventually rebuilds a vibrant pallet to unload actual confessions that other lonely listeners can relate to.

    Caer shows definite signs that Twin Shadow is moving in the right direction. However, the album is too often bogged down by cheerless beats, painted in varying shades of beige.
